Mountain Well Pipeline Maintenance:
The proposed action will consist of maintenance to the Mountain Well Pipeline. Approximately 1 mile of no larger than 1¼” pipe will be dug and buried with a small track backhoe from the valve point at the last set of troughs, down through the wash to a level area adjacent to the wash where up to four troughs will be set. These range improvements will be installed in the same locations as the damaged pipeline and old troughs. The existing pipeline was installed in 1969 and is no longer serviceable.
The reestablishment of the pipeline and troughs will help with distribution of livestock in Pasture #1 which is grazed 10/16 – 4/15 annually.
La Plata Pipeline Maintenance
The proposed action will consist of maintenance to the La Plata Pipeline. Approximately 2 miles of no larger than 1¼” pipe will be dug and buried with a small track backhoe from the windmill, down along the edge of the road then through a wash to a level area adjacent to the wash where up to four troughs will be set. These range improvements will be installed in the same locations as the damaged pipeline and old troughs. The existing pipeline was installed in 1979 and is no longer serviceable.
The reestablishment of the pipeline and troughs will help with distribution of livestock in Pasture #1 which is grazed 10/16 – 4/15 annually.
Mountain Well Reservoir Diversion Maintenance
The proposed action will consist of maintenance to the Mountain Well Reservoir Diversion Pipeline. Approximately 1 mile of no larger than 1¼” pipe will be dug and buried with a small track backhoe from the valve point at the last set of troughs, down along the road then through the wash to a level area adjacent to the wash where up to four troughs will be set. These range improvements will be installed in the same locations as the damaged pipeline and old troughs. The existing pipeline was installed in 1959 and is no longer serviceable.
The reestablishment of the pipeline and troughs will help with distribution of livestock in Pasture #1 which is grazed 10/16 – 4/15 annually.
